Squiz Matrix - Features Checklist

The table below describes some of the features of Squiz Matrix. Select a category from the drop-down menu to see each section. If you need additional information, please contact us.

Overview

Functionality	Overview
Browser Based	Squiz Matrix is entirely browser-based. No client software other than a web browser is required to view or edit web content created within Squiz Matrix. The administration interface of Squiz Matrix is also browser-based, but needs to be Java enabled to utilise some of the backend features.
Dual User interfaces	The Administration interface provides access to the full contents of the system and all of its functionality. You can also chose to integrate with Squiz CMS which is designed to make editing content incredibly easy, even for non technical users - it's perfect for web editors and marketing professionals.
Separation of Content from Design	Squiz Matrix separates content from its presentation through the use of "design" templates, which are used to define the layout and look-and-feel of pages. The design controls such things as the general "look and feel" of a page, including style sheets, common page elements (e.g. the header and footer) and the navigation structure. Designs can be applied to a page, group of pages or an entire site, and each system may have many designs installed, so it is possible to have a different look and feel for policy documents and media releases, for example.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)	Squiz has several years of experience in obtaining high rankings in Google and other search engines. Many features are included in Squiz Matrix support search engine optimisation: Metadata is an intrinsic part of successfully managing assets within Squiz Matrix, for search engine optimisation and other purposes. It is easy to add standard schemas such AGLS and Dublin Core, or define customised standards if more appropriate, via an intuitive point and click interface. Squiz Matrix allows metadata to be: manually entered, automatically created (e.g. the date and time a page was last modified), mandatory (pages without complete metadata will not be allowed to go live), indexed by the Squiz Search. Squiz Matrix publishes human readable, search engine-friendly URLs rather than complex, and apparently meaningless, strings of characters. On creation of an asset, Squiz Matrix creates the URL for a page from its title, appended to the URL of its parent page or site. The URL of a page can be edited to a different value if required. Squiz Matrix allows the user to set the title of the page to be auto generated as either the page name or page short name as required. The user can include alt tags for all images and format them as required using CSS. Squiz Matrix provides an automatic keyword extraction feature to show each word extracted from the contents of the site, ordered by the most commonly occurring words. A user can cut and paste the appropriate keywords to be used for metadata.
